Chapter 588: Duel

The ghost army has slaughtered Qicheng, and of course Huan Guo has to take action.

Under the king's order, Xiang Ge quickly dispatched troops and horses, with 80,000 cavalry and 220,000 infantry troops, a total of 300,000 troops, and rushed to the front.

The march took time, and the Huan army was fighting, with a lot of food and grass, and it was a sudden order, so it was somewhat hasty.

Xiang Ge, the name of the famous general of Huan State, is a little watery, and most of it is actually a hereditary title based on the merits of his ancestors.

Now the ghost army is like a bamboo, attacking the city one after another, massacring, raping and plundering, the situation can be described as extremely dangerous, one day late, maybe, it is a city, and the lives of tens of thousands of people.

If Su Yi is allowed to fight this battle, he must be an elite shilling troops, carrying dry rations for several days, rushing day and night, one step ahead of the enemy, taking the lead in seizing a favorable position, and in the process of seizing, the follow-up troops and grain and grass baggage have almost arrived.

But Xiang Ge did not do this, but marched slowly, not daring to easily disconnect from the escort troops.

In this way, when he arrives, the ghost army will not know how many miles of land it has captured, and the Huan army will probably change from a defensive side to a forced attack.

With a small number of elite troops, it is a certain risk to be the first to arrive at the battlefield and seize the terrain, Xiang Ge did not dare to do this, but he was full of confidence, and in the process of marching, he also said to the deputy general from time to time:

"The ghost army has always been brave and unwise, and this time, it is a good time for us to make contributions."

"Xiang Shuai said yes......" The deputy general hurriedly echoed.

In Xiang Ge's heart, he did not have hatred for the ghost army slaughtering his compatriots, on the contrary, he also thought that this was a chance given to him by God, a chance to prove that he was stronger than Sun Qi!

This person is narrow-minded, and when facing the famous generals of various countries, he is somewhat weak-minded, but he has a lot of confidence in the ghost army.

More than twenty days later, Guangyuan County.

The city was full of corpses.

In the hall of the county hall, directly above, Urcha has one in one hand, and on the left and right, two young girls are hugging.

At his request by force, the girl was not allowed to wear a coat, and she was covered with only her belly pocket, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

"General." A soldier walked in, and after giving a salute, he first looked at the two fair-skinned girls, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then said: "According to the report, the Huan army has approached Guangyuan. ”

"How many of them are there?" Urcha asked lightly, his eyes still stayed on the woman in his arms, the corners of his mouth smiled evilly, and his hands did not mean to stop moving.

"The specific number is not clear, but looking at its scale and company battalion, there are more than 200,000 to say the least." The soldier returned.

"Who's the commander? Have you heard everything? ”

"It seems to be Xiang Ge, a famous general of Huan State."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Urcha's eyes lit up, raised his head to look at the soldiers, and then pushed away the girls on the left and right, got up and touched his chin, and said with a gloomy smile: "The famous general of the Central Plains? Very good, this time, let's take the famous generals first! Try our Iron Riders! ”

Xiang Ge thought that the ghost army was easy to fight and had no strategy, and Urcha didn't take him seriously at all.

At this time, the generals of the Huan army were also gathering in the big tent of the Chinese army to conduct preliminary discussions.

The adjutant general pointed to the sand table and took the lead in speaking: "Xiang Shuai, please see, most of the strength of the ghost army is now hoarded near Guangyuan, and the capital county has long been occupied by Urcha, if we want to recover this county, we must first defeat his main force." ”

"You mean, the main force is approaching the county town, forcing the ghost army to shrink, and then fighting a decisive battle with our army?"

"Exactly, outside Guangyuan City, for the vast plain, can carry out a large-scale battle, and according to our understanding of the ghost army, their individual combat ability is not weak, especially good at chaotic warfare, but if you talk about the coordination of formations, there are many deficiencies."

"En......" After listening to what the adjutant general said, Xiang Ge nodded slowly, then looked around and said, "What do you mean?" ”

The generals first glanced at each other, and then clasped their fists together and said, "But according to Xiang Shuai's orders!" ”

"Good! Then it's a battle to decide the winner! Defeat the ghost army in one go! He said with great momentum.

The Huan army did not have any tactics, and thought that the ghost army should be guarding the city pass, but he never thought that Urcha had not waited for Xiang Ge's soldiers to come to the city, and had taken the lead in seeking a decisive battle, and he had the intention of advancing in a big way.

A few days later, the armies of the two sides faced off on a vast plain.

On the ghost army's side, it was not the iron-armored heavy cavalry at the head, but the same spear and round shield.

On the Huan army's side, it was lined up into several phalanxes, waving flags.

Between the two armies, there is enough buffer zone.

Xiang Ge stood on the edge of the handsome car, looked at the ghost army opposite, didn't say a word, and waved his big hand:

"Beat the drums!"

Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock

The exciting war drums sounded, Xiang Ge's sword was unsheathed, and the sergeant Huan also began to pick up the halberd and press forward.

Woo! Woo! Woo

On the side of the ghost army, a high horn sounded, and the ghost soldiers in the front row began to hold a round shield in their left hand and hit with a spear in their right hand, marching forward step by step with neat steps.

The two sides soon reached a certain distance.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

"Shoot the Arrow"

The handsome flag shook, the front row of the Huan army, the heavy shields smashed to the ground together, and the crossbowmen in the back bent their bows and arrows, pointed obliquely into the air, and released their fingers.

Arrows rained down.

On the side of the ghost army, there was also a general's scimitar: "Warriors! Rush."

At the sound of an order, the ghost sergeant began to let out a strange scream, and from the neat step forward, it instantly turned into a chaotic charge.

In the process, many people were naturally shot by stray arrows and fell to the ground in a miserable manner, but in the same way, they also waved their right arms and threw their spears violently.

Spears, hung with strong winds, pierced through the bodies of one soldier after another.

The front rows of the two sides quickly clashed together, and blood was immediately splattered on the spot.

The foot soldiers of the ghost army are poorly equipped, and if they only rely on spears and shields, they may really be defeated by the Huan army, which is why Xiang Ge is so confident.

But Urcha's focus is obviously not here.

Not long after the battle started, the spearmen in the front row of the ghost army had been defeated on a large scale, and they began to flee in a hurry, Xiang Ge, who was looking at the overall situation, couldn't help but look up and laugh: "Haha! What a godsend for me! ”

It's just that as soon as his laughter fell, the deputy general beside him was already pointing at the battlefield, and said in surprise: "Xiang Shuai, look!" ”

"Huh?" Xiang Ge twisted his eyebrows, looked at it as he pointed out, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What is that!?" ”

"Ride...... Cavalry, the cavalry of the ghost clan......" The lieutenant general swallowed.

"What!? When did the ghost clan have such cavalry! Xiang Ge was equally shocked.
